The Buffalo Theory: Why Drinking Alcohol is Good for YOU?
'Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . .. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'
Cheers to The Buffalo Theory...

Kota Baru council bans lipstick, high heels
KOTA BARU: Muslim women employees working here are forbidden to wear lipstick and high-heeled shoes to work.
This directive is contained in a municipal council circular dated May 25 and signed by its president Shafie Ismail, which has been distributed to business premises here.
A check, however, found that only a few tenants had received the circular this week.
The circular stated that the directive, targeted at Muslim women employees working in food outlets and other business premises, was issued to prevent incidents like rape and illicit sex as well as to safeguard the morals and dignity of Muslim women in Kelantan.
It stated that Muslim women were forbidden to wear thick make-up, bright coloured lipstick and high-heeled shoes which made a tapping sound.
Those who insisted on wearing high-heeled shoes should choose those with rubber soles.
Attempts to contact Shafie for clarification were futile.
The directive on the wearing of lipstick and high-heeled shoes are in addition to the wearing of scarves, which should cover the chest and not be of transparent material, blouses with long sleeves, which were long and loose, as well as socks.
Man on car roof causes stir on highway
SUNGAI PETANI: Traffic at Km109.5 of the North-South Expressway near Taman Kempas here was reduced to a snail's pace when a motorist acted "strangely" after his car was involved in an accident with a mini-lorry yesterday.
The motorist, in his 40s, had climbed up his car rooftop almost immediately after the 6.25am incident.
He then made curious gestures at passing motorists, causing them to slow down as they passed his car, which had veered to a stop on the left lane of the highway after colliding into the lorry which was also travelling southbound towards Butterworth.
The driver of the lorry, in his 50s, along with his accompanying daughter, in her 20s, were not hurt in the mishap.
Later, policemen and firemen, who had rushed to the scene, tried in vain to coax the motorist, who was travelling alone, to come down.
The man, who was wearing a baju Melayu and a sarung, proceeded to take off his shirt.
He then lit a cigarette and assumed a sitting position on his car rooftop after complaining of the heat.
The policemen, who were assisted by several Projek Lebuhraya Utara Selatan patrolmen, persisted in trying to talk him into coming down and seek medical treatment.
This infuriated the man, who started to shout at those around him.
About an hour later, the policemen managed to grab the disturbed motorist when they caught him off-guard.
He was later sent to the Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital for a medical check-up.

New insertion for 2009 Oxford Dictionary
There are possible plans underway to apply to the Oxford and Webster to include a new word for their 2009 dictionary:
badawi [baa-daa-wee] (Transitive verb/Noun/Adjective): To start something full of promise but end in disappointment, failure and/or disaster.
Eg:
'I'm trusting you to perform this task well; don't do a badawi, ok?'
'Whatever I do, I will always find a way to badawise it.'
France badawied their Euro 2008 campaign. England pre-badawied theirs, while Italy were guilty of over-badawification.
Why We Use English for IT
Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for math and science?
This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa , especially in school. See example below:-
Hardware = barangkeras
Software = baranglembut
Joystick = batang gembira
Plug and Play = cucuk dan main
Port = lubang
Server = pelayan
Client = pelanggan
Try to translate this:
ENGLISH:
"That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client."
Now in BAHASA:
"Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu akan dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan."
Now you know...WHY...

Singapore armpit-sniffer gets caning, 14 years jail
A MOLESTER with a fixation for smelling women's armpits was sentenced to 14 years in jail and ordered caned 18 times, Singapore news reports.
Mohammed Ismail Ariffin, 36, was convicted of molesting 23 females from girls as young as 9 to women in their 50s, The Straits Times said.
Community Court Judge James Leong imposed a preventive detention sentence, a jail term for hardcore prisoners with no chance of parole.
Mohammed Ismail stalked his victims and followed them into lifts, staircase landings or their homes. In some cases, he restrained them.
Apart from sniffing his victims' armpits, Mohammed Ismail also was guilty of fondling a 13-year-old and exposing himself to a 53-year- old cleaner, the court found.
Following a report from a housewife that a man had smelled her armpit on January 3, the police took a semen swab at the scene which led them to Mohammed Ismail.
A detention report submitted to the court today said the man's crime pattern put him in a group with more than a 62-per-cent chance of committing crimes again within two years of release from prison.
Pleading for leniency, lawyer Noor Mohamed Marican urged the judge to send Mohammed Ismail for a rehabilitative program and medical treatment instead of imposing a long sentence.
"The facts of the case speak for themselves," Leong was quoted as saying.
The judge said he found "precious little" in Mohammed Ismail's favour, except that he pleaded guilty.
He had previous convictions since 1991 for drug and sex-related offences.
